Disclaimers / Disclosures

We wanted to create this page to clear up any confusion about how we create the content of this website, what our relationships are with the manufacturers in the industry, etc.  We believe in transparency, and we want to use this page to be as transparent as possible with all aspects of our website.  We are also disclosing this information in an effort to be in accordance with the FTC’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising“. 16 CFR, Part 255

Receiving Free Products

In most cases for our reviews, we received the product for free in exchange for us considering writing a review (in some cases, where noted specifically, we may just provide a summary of the findings of customers elsewhere).  Just because we receive a product does not mean we will publish a review.  We didn’t start this website so that we could write scathing reviews of products.  If we don’t think a mattress lives up to our standards, then we will not write a review on our site.  The content of our reviews is my true opinion (and I do my best to attempt to lead you in the right direction rather than making blanket statements that a certain mattress is “the best”).  With that being said, we have received the following products for free:

Our Philosophy

We created this website with a few goals.  First, most consumers get very confused when trying to decide on a mattress.  Next, liking a certain mattress is a very personal choice that depends on many different factors, meaning there is certainly no one “best” mattress.  Lastly, there is a lot of marketing hype in the industry that can lead a lot of people away from making a good choice.

With that in mind, we just wanted to provide information that attempts to simplify the process for you.  We try to break down what the key parts of each mattress is and whom the mattress might be good for.  Opinions on the site are my own (Joe Auer), and should be treated as opinons, not final verdicts.  Generally I try to avoid making statements like, “this is the best mattress,” though you will see ratings for the products, sometimes broken down by category (eg best innerspring mattresses).  Again these are subjective scores and rankings which reflect my own opinions and personal biases.  That is because finding a “best” mattress depends on many different factors, like weight, sleeping position, and personal preferences.  I suggest you use the information on the site as a starting point for your own mattress selection.
